Ps, what’s your AO3? I couldn’t find a link that worked on your page🥲

Finally, I'm coming around to this! (I have sent my term paper to my prof... nearly had a nervous breakdown 🥲)

🎱 -> so far, i only have one work, so there isn't much. (I do might plan another work for Spirit Hunter, but that has to wait a little.)

🌵 -> you might be wondering "Why a link to a tumlr post?" Easy! Since it is a playlist from one of my beloved mutulas (a fucking beautiful one, might I add!) I wanted to put the post were they announced the finnished playlist.

🏜 -> Since, again, I have only one work currently on AO3, there aren't a lot of comments yet (Feel free to leave one, guys! Don't be shy!). So my fav is the first one left on it by @tired-reader-writer!

PS: Here is the link for my AO3 work. I have to check with my proofreader, but the second chapter should also be nearly done. I already went over it on my own! I only have to do the chapter art for the announcement...

This is the ask game, if anybody wants to join!

Then and Now

Areyan is finally finished! This was a Journey™ for me. This is depicting a design (the second one, to be precise) from the design sheet I made for him! I went very in-depth about all the symbolism there, so if you wanna go check that out, it's under the #the character design sheet saga tag. I did add a few things but with the bag it's just that I saw a pretty design and I wanted to copy that.

His crutches, however, are made of white beech wood! So what I had in my notes about beech was that it symbolizes protecting and nurturing, old writings and knowledge, rediscovering old wisdom, wishes, understanding, sustenance, and letting go of fixed ideas. And I thought that was interesting because in the Wolfpack AU he (Areyan is Arslan in case you're new to my blog) and Hilmes actually end up on the same side and he's a positive influence on Hilmes kinda like an advisor and guiding light and it's Hilmes who needs to let go of fixed ideas and the one who rediscovered the forgotten histories of Kaykhusraw's time and the clan, especially Areyan, is the key that provides that change in him. Their existence, his entire existence, is like a middle finger to the very rigid and fixed societal notions that shackled Pars for so long.

I kinda wanna attempt a simple background for this piece at a later date but for now my shoulders are stiff, my spine is screaming, I need to go lie down for the rest of the day 🥲

TOMORROW

I think there's just something in the way even Narsus was stumped when before he said something like “I fear nothing that talks” when faced against a sorcerer, but this time he's up against a true monster.

I know I've brought up this quote by Aozaki Touko from Kara no Kyoukai a lot but:

“There are three conditions to terrify someone: One, the monster can't speak. Two, the monster has to be unidentifiable. Three, it's meaningless if the monster can die.”

Zahhak, at present, qualifies for two of the three conditions, but can be stretched to all three since the characters don't know where he originated from, how he came to be. Even Kaykhusraw could not kill him.
